What’s everyone’s favorite/most recommended Kuiu tops? I currently have a Peloton 97 fleece zip t that I love for its surprisingly warmth to weight and thinness ratio. I’m looking to pick up another top, not a jacket though. Just looking for any user suggestions. For reference, I hunt in south GA so it’s uncommon it gets below 30 degrees. Also mostly whitetail hunt from stand/trees, with spring turkey hunting and coyote/hog hunts scattered year round.

I don’t have a ton of Kuiu but the encounter 290 seems super warm. Haven’t used it yet though

I like the Merino hoodies, either the 120 or 145. They are great under the 97 and work in the heat, too. Anything more than a Merino with the 97 on top and I’d probably be in a jacket, especially still-hunting. The Peloton 240 is kind of a mid-layer/jacket that I like, but it seems like you’re set for a jacket.

I have just about all of them and really like them all not sure I can pick a fav. I just picked up the 235 strongfleece and am really impressed with the weight to warmth ratio this thing is toasty.

The Peleton 200 t zip hoody is my favorite piece of clothing. I wear if on most hunts. Second would be the Kenai jacket. Abused it for years and it still works great.

Peloton 200 hoody is my most used followed by the Peloton 97 and Pro Merino hoodies.

You screwed up and bought their best piece right off the bat. I did the same thing. My favorite is the Peleton 97 by far. I have the Strongfleece 260 and one of their merino tops as well. As for my other favorite top, it would be the Sitka heavy weight hoody. It is incredibly warm for it's weight and I can be used as a base layer or mid layer. On really cold days, I use it for my base layer.
